YuJa Panorama – Canvas Digital Accessibility Tool
Panorama is an accessibility diagnostic and support tool integrated into Canvas. It identifies accessibility issues in course content, allows instructors to remediate some issues directly inline, and provides students with alternative file formats.
For a summary of Panorama's features and accessibility scores, please review the Panorama LMS Accessibility Platform Overview.
Think of Panorama as your accessibility assistant—it helps improve your content but doesn’t automatically fix every issue. You can view the list of accessibility issues that can be resolved with Panorama to see which items can be remediated directly within the tool.
Note: Our current access level includes “Full-Circle” remediation features.
Students and instructors will now see Panorama’s icons next to course content, and instructors will have access to Accessibility Reports for course content.
Note: Students will only see the blue circle icons to view alternate formats and will not see the instructor icons associated with accessibility scores.
Step-by-step guidance for instructors on how to access Panorama, interpret accessibility scores, and remediate issues directly within Canvas.
